Ronan Lynch has secrets. Some he keeps from others. Some he keeps from himself.

One secret: Ronan can bring things out of his dreams.

And sometimes he's not the only one who wants those things.

Ronan
is one of the raven boys—a group of friends, practically brothers,
searching for a dead king named Glendower, who they think is hidden
somewhere in the hills by their elite private school, Aglionby Academy.
The path to Glendower has long lived as an undercurrent beneath town.
But now, like Ronan's secrets, it is beginning to rise to the
surface—changing everything in its wake.

Of The Raven Boys, Entertainment Weekly
wrote, "Maggie Stiefvater's can't-put-it-down paranormal adventure will
leave you clamoring for book two." Now the second book is here, with
the same wild imagination, dark romance, and heart-stopping twists that
only Maggie Stiefvater can conjure.

Percy Jackson is a good
kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper.
And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse—Percy
could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried
to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he
knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place
he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for
demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew
is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with
his friends—one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of
Athena—Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the
gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and
prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.
